High Fructose Corn Syrup will kill you

High fructose corn syrup is in everything these days. When I was at the grocery looking for applesauce, I picked up the one labeled Original and it contained HFCS. To me there is nothing "original" about HFCS.

A recent study from researchers at Princeton illustrated just how bad HFCS is.

HFCS causes obesity, promotes fat gain around the mid-section and increases triglycerides in the blood.

Am I right to be outraged that foods label "original" contain such a dangerous additive or is HFCS not really all that bad?

High Fructose Corn Syrup Will Kill You

Over the last few years, my wife has slowly been changing our family’s diet to a more natural, healthy one. Although we know it’s for our health, it hasn’t come without kicking and screaming at times. Perhaps one of the biggest changes she’s made is eliminating as many things that contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as possible from our diet.
“Why” you ask?
Simple….it can kill you.

High Fructose Corn Syrup (LOL)

The other day, Alarryyk and I went out for dinner and I picked out a bottled cherry soda to drink. As the place (Belgian Fries) is on Commercial Drive, where all grocery stores are organic, I am used to drinks being free of things like high fructose corn syrup. When I read this on the label, I immediately put the drink down and refused to take another sip. Read more about the evils of high fructose corn syrup here - this stuff can kill you!
